Frequently Asked Questions

What is KingsCrowd?

KingsCrowd is a ratings and analytics platform that helps investors track all startup investment opportunities available on platforms like Republic, SeedInvest, Wefunder, and StartEngine. We take all the startups that we track and rate them based on five key metrics to identify the most attractive investment opportunities according to our methodology. In summary, we make startup investing accessible to you through in-depth, independent ratings and analytics.
What’s the difference between KingsCrowd and SeedInvest/Republic/StartEngine/Wefunder?

KingsCrowd is a ratings and analytics platform that helps investors track all startup investment opportunities raising on online portals like Republic, SeedInvest, Wefunder, and StartEngine. We are not an online crowdfunding portal ourselves. We take all the startups that we track and rate them based on five key metrics to identify the most attractive investment opportunities according to our methodology. To sum it up, we aggregate the opportunities available, take in data on them, use a little human judgement, and determine a rating for companies raising on the above online portals (and others).
I’m new to the equity crowdfunding space, where do I start?

Welcome to the world of equity crowdfunding! If you’re interested in investing in companies raising online, then you can invest in them through online portals like SeedInvest, Republic, and more. When you’ve found a company or startup that catches your eye and you want to research them to see if it’s a good investment, KingsCrowd makes that process easier for interested investors by aggregating most of the opportunities available and rating them based on our proprietary ratings and analytics model.

For more information, check out some of our educational articles like “What is Regulation CF?” and “What are the Risks and Rewards of Investing through Equity Crowdfunding?”
Should I invest in X company? / Is it worth investing in X company?

Unfortunately, we cannot tell you whether or not you should invest in specific startups as the decision ultimately resides on you. We also cannot provide any guidance or help you in your decision-making process if you are not a paying KingsCrowd customer. The ratings, research, and analytics we provide are our bread and butter. We encourage you to become a Pro level subscriber in order to receive the full benefits of our ratings and analyses.
What are company X’s future returns? How do I make money investing in these companies?

KingsCrowd is a ratings and analytics service for the online private markets. It’s incredibly difficult to predict the future expected returns of privately held companies that do not regularly disclose their financials. The KingsCrowd team does everything it can to predict shareholder value, but at the end of the day, it’s a private company. That’s the world we live in and it’s incredibly exciting!
What is Company X’s ticker/stock symbol?

Startups raising online (the companies that KingsCrowd rates and analyzes) are all privately owned. They are not traded publicly and thus do not have tickers or stock symbols.
Can I raise capital on KingsCrowd?

KingsCrowd is not a FINRA-regulated platform nor a member of FINRA. As such, companies looking to raise cannot do so on our platform. We simply rate the companies raising on the various platforms using our proprietary ratings and analytics platform!
Can I invest in KingsCrowd?

Unfortunately, we closed our fundraising round in March and we are currently not accepting any additional crowdfunding investment. We’ll be sure to alert everyone if and when we do raise again though!
